Your father is not coming on anything!

Maybe not. You will have the same number of tax preparers chasing less work. Through the magic of the Free Market™️, shouldn’t that mean pressure to reduce prices? We can only hope.

DO. NOT. FUCK. WITH. LIBRARIANS.

(they are organized and they will hurt you)

It’s like, their whole thing!

By any chance are you a fan of Strong Towns? If not they are very active in trying to kill Stroads

This is a big ass-mistake.

You sound like you mean well, but this is not helpful advice. You are essentially telling someone who is obviously a conscientious person and struggling that they have a character flaw.

Gwynne Shotwell deserves quite a lot more credit for SpaceX than Musk. Someone has to keep the place running until the ketamine clears his system.

A ‘stern talking-to’

Please read the original post and let me know where the presidency is mentioned.

Why do you keep insisting that the only race that matters is for the Presidency? You keep hidng behind your superior moral stance based on the Electoral Colleges flaws. The electoral college only pertains to the presidency.

What’s going on in your local school board or city council races? If you can’t answer, then perhaps reconsider who may be falling for a psy-op.

Bless you for this comment.

How many commenters here have even tried to figure out how ‘busses’ (the electoral process) work and find a way to get involved?

Spend 5 hours a week (yes, you can find the time, deduct it from your screen time!) and you could basically take over your local party committee. That alone won’t change the national trend, but you might just be able to influence a city council or school board race.

Local races hinge on a handful of votes very often. In our area, we managed to keep two anti-LGBTQ+ candidates off the school board last election. This impacts the lives of literally thousands of youth and their families and it hinged on about 80 votes. Vote, yes, but at least skim the Chilton manual for your bus in between elections. It really does matter

I lived in Japan for a year and I was under a microscope for a few months until they were sure I wasn’t a fetishizing weeb. My hosts and people I met had many ways of working these inquiries into the conversation. But it became clear very soon that weebs looove Japan, but most Japanese I met don’t love them back.

It’s pronounced Gif

This is sad news. He was deeply influential and at the same time a somewhat obscure author. At least, in my experience, he didn’t have the name recognition other - dare I say lesser - authors had.

One lesson I learned as a young person from reading A Fire Upon the Deep was to never believe anything just because it was on the internet. That alone makes his legacy worth remembering.

They are Gold-level reward planets. You were so close to Platinum but you weren’t aggressive enough at recruiting friends and family into your downline.

We have had few overt attempts to intimidate voters in Colorado. Candidates don’t get to just pick their voting locations. That’s a very complex decision that involves multiple overlapping government and volunteer organizations.

No, the enemy here isn’t MAGAts flexing at a polling place, it’s apathy among the general populace. A major part of our efforts is just educating people about how it all works, not necessarily getting them to vote a certain way. Finding someone who is willing to engage more fully in the process is how we measure success.

I volunteer for a local Democratic Party board and we are seeing an uptick in volunteer interest quite early. We are preparing by improving our processes so early volunteers get trained well in hopes we have a bigger army for GOTV efforts closer to the general election.

I mention this to say it isn’t hopeless. Voters are made by knowing other voters, it’s a socially reinforced activity. I gotta try anyway

Or the usefulness and accuracy of the information. The Anarchists Cookbook is an objectively shitty book that sells only to naive edgelords. Naturally, I had a copy. Then I turned 16
